hey everyone,
I just purchased a Gamma X 6-FC drop weight stringer. This will be my first time stringing EVER so I will be learning from scratch. I bought the machine off of Ebay so I don't know if it will come with the tools and supplies that normally come with it when you order new from a dealer like tennis warehouse or tennis express. My question is, what tools are necessary to make sure that the job gets done efficiently and effectively?
It looks like bent nose pliers, needle nose pliers and diagonal cutters can be purchased in a set. I did see the Gamma pathfiner awl (is this different from a normal awl?). Also saw a "starting clamp", is that necessary for stringing? Any help or advice for a first timer will be greatly appreciated!
